What I am Thankful For

As many of us sit down with friends and family today, its a good time to reflect on life and whats important. I am thankful for the love of my life (my wife), my son who is an inspiration, the friendships I have made and my passion for the art of photography, travel and life on this planet. I am thankful for all of you that help make to it worthwhile to share my life, experiences and knowledge. And maybe most of all…I am thankful for my large ears, that allow my son to grab on and feel safe and secure while we are playing around the house:)

Peace and love from “The Browns”!
